Chronicle Conducive To Books When Rabbit Howls
Truddi Chase began therapy to discover why she suffered from blackouts. What surfaced was terrifying: she was inhabited by 'the Troops'-92 individual personalities. This groundbreaking true story is made all the more extraordinary in that it was written by the Troops themselves. What they reveal is a spellbinding descent into a personal hell-and an ultimate deliverance for the woman they became.Rating Out Of Books When Rabbit Howls

Well that was interesting and does give insight into DID and abuse. But I felt like a was trying too wade through it by the middle of the book.So good. Totally and completely fucked up, but good.
I found this book alternatively fascinating, unbelievable, horrifying and silly. I had heard elsewhere that there has been some speculation that the book is not legitimate but in fact is fabricated. When the story line became a little too weird (as in parts about reading minds and paranormal stuff) then that speculation kept running through my mind and I became a very cynical reader.I also found the book hard to read in places because of the way it was written (supposedly) from a first person
If you're at all interested in psychology and the potential of the human psyche to both splinter and protect itself, then you should read this book. It's both dark and fascinating, especially if you've had any interest in child psychology or human nature, like I have... And I'll freely admit being fascinated with the ways the human mind can react to stress and abuse. The book is not necessarily an easy one to read, I should say that upfront.

Since I am married to a multiple myself, I can assure any doubters that stories like Chase's happen all the time. Such damage may well be happening to someone right this
A more modern take on the "Sybil" acount of Multiple Personality Disorder. This book moves more quickly and is a bit more graphic than "Sybil" as it was written more recently. Although, it may not make you a firm believer in the disorder it will certainly make you think twice before doubting the possibility that it does exist.
Finally done!I admit, the last few pages I just skimmed through - I just wanted to be done with it, but needed the closure of the end. I think it's important to know that the terminology is outdated. It's better read as a historical document and one persons personal account than as source of knowledge about DID. A lot has happened in Psychiatry/Psychology since the 80es. Other than that, I find it difficult to have an opinion on this book. It's difficult to read, triggering and sometimes
